Young superstar Khalid is heading back to Australian shores this November through to December for his 'Free Spirit Tour'. With his Grammy-nominated debut album 'American Teen' having been certified double Platinum and his new record 'Free Spirit' finally out in the world, there’s no better time for fans down under to experience the El Paso singer’s magic.

Following the monumental success of his debut album 'American Teen' (certified Gold in Australia), the 21-year old R&B artist is gearing up to break new records with his sophomore effort, 'Free Spirit' (out now via Sony Music). In February, he gave fans a taste of what was to come by dropping lead single 'Talk', co-written with Disclosure, along with their own remix of the song called 'Talk - Disclosure VIP', adding to a stable of hits that’s truly staggering for an artist so young. 'Free Spirit' also includes new tracks 'Self' and 'My Bad'. The album features special guest John Mayer on the track 'Outta My Head'.

Khalid has definitely made his mark through a plethora of international chart-topping singles. From 7x Platinum 'Young Dumb & Broke' and 3x Platinum 'Better', to the stack of collabs with some of the world's biggest artists such as Normani on 'Love Lies' (5x Platinum), 6LACK and Ty Dolla $ign on 'OTW' (2x Platinum), Martin Garrix on 'Ocean' (2x Platinum), Benny Blanco and Halsey on 'Eastside', Shawn Mendes on 'Youth', Calvin Harris and Future on 'Rollin', Logic and Alessia Cara on '1-800-273-8255', and close friend Billie Eilish on 'Lovely', he has become one of the most remarkable names in pop today.

"Khalid's [performance] confirmed that he was now no longer an R&B star, or an alt-pop star, or anything else but a full-bore pop star, making young New Yorkers' dreams come true for one Saturday night." - Billboard

The last two years have seen Khalid take the industry by storm, quickly becoming a household name with his multiple chart-topping singles, internationally-acclaimed award nominations and wins, TV appearances, and brand campaigns. In 2017, he won the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist and featured as the face of Forever 21's Summer Digital Campaign, #F21xMusic, and Men’s Line. He went on to perform on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Ellen Degeneres Show, and Good Morning America to name a few, as well as at SXSW 2017, where he won MTV’s Woodie to Watch Award. In 2018, he was nominated for a whopping five Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist, and also took out 4th place in the BBC Sound of 2018 poll.

Khalid is one of the defining artists of his generation, and his Australian shows are not to be missed.
